About John Macaluso

John Macaluso has always admired his Real Estate Broker mom, Mary Macaluso and the pleasure she gets matching buyers and sellers to homes. In 2017, John decided to join May and form the Macaluso Real Estate Team at Compass Real Estate. He wanted to share his passion for helping people with buyers, sellers, landlords, tenants and investors across Nassau and Suffolk counties.

John takes great pride in matching people to their real estate dreams. He is a true people person and believes that his clients are his family and that it’s very important to build long term relationships in the process. Matching people and properties is his end goal. As your realtor, John is your advocate - he is a skilled negotiator and does everything possible to make the other party notice you and make your offer stand out. John is here to alleviate the stigma of a stressful home selling and / or buying process. There is no challenge too big to remedy. John will prepare a game plan based on your specific needs and be in constant contact every step of the way.

John’s prior work experiences prepared him for the many aspects of Real Estate. His time spent in finance as a Commodities Trader, Asset Manager and Vice President of Institutional Sales has helped him develop strong negotiating skills, market analysis knowledge and risk management experience, all of which facilitated his transition to real estate. Prior to his finance career John’s experience was in construction as a carpenter. This experience enables John to educate and prepare buyers or sellers about different aspects of home construction and repairs to be on the lookout for.

If you are thinking of selling, John will work to get you the best market price, in the least amount of time. Using the latest technology, custom marketing materials and team collaboration, John is happy to prepare and perform a FREE and honest Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) to help you make an informed decision.

John is a top shelf real estate professional. I've bought and sold 12 homes in in my life and he is by far the best. Always courteous, well dressed, well informed basically a true hard worker looking to make your sale his top priority. Robert Pecorella

As a first time home buyer, John made the process of finding a home comfortable and almost stress-free. He was always available to answer any question I had, and was very clear and honest throughout the process. He definitely went the extra mile to make sure I was able to get into the co-op I had my eye on for a year! He truly helped my dream come true, and I couldn’t imagine having done it without him!! user01906280

My roommate and I had been searching for a new Long Beach apartment for quite some time. We found the perfect place in one day with the help of John. He was able to get us into the apartment the very day we saw the listing and put an offer in. John was so friendly and accommodating. The whole experience was painless and we are currently living in our beautiful waterfront property. John helped us through all the paperwork and process. We can’t thank John enough. edwardhearne1

John is a highly experienced agent that understands the market and was able to secure our dream home. We highly recommend him! John was with us every step of the way and stayed in constant communication to ensure we were happy and to provide us information of what we needed to do to complete the transaction. PaulAiuto

John is great. I was looking to sell one house and purchase another. He really made both processes easy and stress free especially doing them both at the same time. He immediately showed me a great selection of homes I was interested in. John made it possible for me to accept an offer on the house I was selling in under 2 weeks. He was also the one to find my new home. He called me up and said he found one that I would really like. He brought me to the house and I immediately knew that was the house I wanted. He used his knowledge and experience and helped me negotiate a great deal. He also has connections for every part of the sale and purchase like lawyers, inspectors, contractors, etc. John did such an excellent job, I’m referring anyone I know to him. zuser20170928165536938

We cannot say enough good things about John and his mother, Mary. Selling a house is a very stressful time and they helped us and was there for us through this trying time. They answered all our phone calls immediately and were so pleasant in doing so. We would definitely recommend them and know you will be pleased. zuser20180103074859931

John gave us the absolute right advice for us to get the house we wanted for a price we could afford. He was available to show us the house when multiple family and friends wanted to see it before we made our final decision. John was very low key, and could discuss the problems and the potential honestly. When problems arose with the town records office, he took care of everything, in much less time than our lawyer predicted. Would definitely use again - but we are staying put for now.

I’ve used Johnny Mac for several transactions over the past few years, the most recent was personal Home in blue point. He’s helped broker several deals for me and whether it’s a house for a business flip or my personal home he gives me plenty of attention and makes me feel special. I’ve been an investor for years and I don’t go to anyone but him

Where do I start with John. Let’s just say I wanted to see, he showed me. I asked questions, he answered them. The man doesn’t say no or leave you hanging. He helped us find our home and did everything he could so that we got it. I can’t thank him enough for helping us and for all the effort he put I to our home buying mission. Thanks John your the man!

John is a top notch realtor. He worked extremely hard to make sure we were happy; listened to everything we wanted, found properties we loved and was patient during the whole process. John was responsive to every message and call. Brought us back to houses we obsessed over and fought for us during bidding wars. We ended up in the house we absolutely loved because John never gave up searching for us. My husband and I would recommend John to anyone looking to buy a house. He will treat you like family.
